The home was very adequate for our family of 9 to stay in and that was great. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and the games in the game room. The shower/tub was difficult for us as we are all very tall people except the 3 children. I wish there had been a hair dryer and bar soap in the bathroom but the towels were very adequate. I also never found dish soap for the pots and pans anywhere and wish I had had that. We couldn't figure out how to operate the t.v. in the living room and had hoped to get a cable station that wasn't available so we went to a Sports Bar in Lanesboro. There was little heating in the most distant bedroom so we were glad we didn't need to use it. We needed extra seating in the dining room and were glad to find the outdoor plastic chairs. We had a fine time with our extended family and truly enjoyed the visit. Maureen Trepp

We had a great stay in Preston. The house was just perfect for our “girls” weekend. It was a pretty drive to Lanesboro, where we took in shopping, eating, massages and a play.

We really appreciated the comfortable beds, and the owner, Tara, was very pleasant and helpful.

The house was perfect for our large family to stay in. The grandkids has lots of room to run around inside and out in the yard.

Tara was very responsive to any questions and needs we had and responded in a timely fashion.

Our only regret is that it isn't located in Lanesboro, but of course that can't be helped ;).

Thanks for a great weekend!
